Google Opts To Be Evil

Ever since Google renamed itself Alphabet Inc. and dropped their "Don't Be Evil" motto, they have opted to be evil. Whether they are manipulating their search engine's results, attacking free speech with their ghost/shadow banning on youtube's video comment sections or trying to declare themselves the arbiter of truth, by coercion through their Adsense platform. The ever growing list of their repugnant behaviours continue to display their evil intent.

For those of us that have been paying attention over the years, Google has become one of the most vile corporate dictators that the internet has to offer. Owning over %20 of the Top 100 most popular websites used today.

The only way to kill the beast that Google has become is to stop using their sites, services and products. Admittedly it is very difficult to remove a company as large as Google from our daily internet activities, given that they continue to acquire more sites on top of their already large collection of acquisitions. However, For those that would prefer to not feed the evil beast or tolerate their evil business practices or lack of ethics, we must be pro-active in attempting to remove them from our lives.

Below is a list of Google/Alphabet owned sites or products and where possible we will list alternative sites or products that we should adopt over that of Google's. If you know of more alternatives, then please contact us so we can update this list.

One of the best ways to be proactive is to replace the Google Chrome browser (if that is your browser of choice, which is the case for most people.) with the Brave browser. You will have all the benefits of Chrome without the tracking and the annoying advertisements as standard. You will also save bandwidth and time when you are no longer downloading Google's scripts, that are either designed to spy on you or profit from you. In addition to that, if you choose to view ads through the Brave browser then you will be the one to profit by receiving BATs (Basic Attention Tokens).
